San Franciscans are good with the puns

Real business names:

Never too Latte (coffee shop)

Haight to Wash (laundromat)


Another thing I love about this city is that it is conducive to small dogs.

" the word that must not be said"

Post-medium in layman's terms

In 1998, Fredric Jameson responded to this development by proposing that the recent return of aesthetics needs to be understood in the context of conceptual art practices since the 1960s, and within the broader sociological phenomenon of postmodernity.

Jameson identifies a historical conjunction between the post-sixties demise of modernist claims for art's autonomy allied to medium specificity and attempts in recent years to revivify aesthetics. He speaks of the legacy of conceptual art, and its postmodern derivations, which endorsed the abandonment of traditional media in favor of hybrid artistic forms and technologies. Conceptual and postmodern practices of impure and mixed media displaced formalist definitions of the medium based on the support's material properties, or as the perpetuation of distinct artistic traditions.

Drawing on Jameson's analysis, Rosalind Krauss describes this state of affairs as the "post-medium condition" of contemporary artistic production.

Cancer pie!

Tucker the pug has cancer, sadly. Maybe certain someones should not take the idea of cancer so lightly, using it as a tool to make fun of certain pies and their certain hats.

Py's Blog

I have a blog too. I am the counter-blog; the anti-blog, if you will. I have no details I wish to share with you. My blog will have no details and no grammatical errors.
Love,
Py
